Hi Bruce & Daniel:
I may be wrong but I believe Debbie Scales wrote the Addaware scripts.

I don't know how to conact the gentleman who did the excellent scripts.
I think the site was www.accessibleprograms.com, but I may be wrong on
this one. Unfortunately, it's his call whether or not he wants to go
further with these scripts. I hope someone does, but it won't be me
because I couldn't script my way out of a wet paper bag.

ah, yes, I remember, Bruce. There's a guy who did the AdAware scripts.
Who
was it. Dean Schmidt, I seem to recall? Well, do we just pray for rain,
or
is there a way to petition help on this?

Ad Aware was never FS's baby. The JAWS scripts for it were always done
by a third party. The nice thing about third-party scripts is that we're
not reliant on FS for them. The down side is that we have no guarantee
that the designer will maintain enthusiasm for the project.
